review 1: This one didn't move me at all and I couldn't really get into the story. It's all too smooth and too easily settled, and a little too stereotyped as well. All the guys are gay friendly (or if they aren't, they're at least accepting) and the only women who get to raise their voices are mean bitches, scheming and hateful. Still, I could have been OK with that if not for a few more things, such as,- The blowjob at the office, after Blake hired Will, was something a callboy would do, professional, to the point and without reciprocation whatsoever, and Blake's first reaction is to 'compensate' Will for the financial loss he no doubt suffered by missing his original appointment. Odd, that.- Will has obviously poured his heart into the book he has written, they talk about the pro... morebability of having it published at some length and Blake spends quite a lot of time planning Will's Christmas present, namely handing him an advance copy of his book. But when Christmas comes, we hear nothing about this special gift but a few rather uninspired sentences about Blake having given the copy to Will. I would have expected to read a bigger scene, like Will opening his present, his feelings upon seeing his book in print, and learn more about his decision of not having it published after all.- Blake's father, Justin, is awfully quick in coming to terms with his son's homosexuality. Up to this point, he'd been painted as something of a last-century-tyrant, intimidating, lacking flexibility and refusing to let go - so scary that his 30 year old son has been hiding in the closet for fear of losing everything... and suddenly it's, "but that's alright, son, it's a generation thing", both for his son being gay and also for Trinity publishing m/m stories, something that had seemed to be filling him with scorn up to then. Sorry, but no. Can't buy that.- The sex scenes didn't fog up my glasses. I am _not_ squeamish and I don't mind explicit language and graphic scenes, and it's perfectly alright for the boys to be ripped (although I wonder about Blake who keeps pointing out he has no private life whatsoever, so when does he find time to work out?) and well-endowed... but again, I'm missing something. There is emotion between the two but I didn't actually feel it while reading. It's all very routinely written but has the emotional impact of a glossy high res photo. A little too perfect to push my buttons.So there. It was a smooth read, too smooth, in fact, and I ended up not caring at all.
review 2: I love KC Wells writing style, also that the books are set in England.This book is set in London. Blake is the CEO of a publishing company. He is Gay but not out. He doesn't date but he does ring an escort agency when he needs a guy. He meets Alex his escort guy and falls in lust.Will has an interview as PA for Blake. He is also an unpublished author. Sparks do fly when the two meet.A very action packed book with a good few twists and turns.Love does win in the end.Great plot and story line. Fantastic first book in the series. less
